Auction result well in line with expectations

In October 2011 Sothebys in Hong Kong held the auction Contemporary Asian Art, which included the work Long Live Chairman Mao Series (Two Works) by Zhang Hongtu. The price achieved of HKD 93,750.00 (€ 8,657.78) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as HKD 80,000.00 – 100,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Zhang Hongtu achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Shen Zhou - Van Gogh #2 in May 2007 with an auction result of HKD 1,440,000.00 (€ 137,117.37).

Auktionsergebnis im Rahmen der Erwartungen

Im Oktober 2011 führte Sothebys in Hong Kong die Auktion Contemporary Asian Art durch, in der auch die Arbeit Long Live Chairman Mao Series (Two Works) von Zhang Hongtu zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von HKD 93.750,00 (€ 8.657,78) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit HKD 80.000,00 – 100.000,00 angegeben worden. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Zhang Hongtu erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Shen Zhou - Van Gogh #2 im Mai 2007 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von HKD 1.440.000,00 (€ 137.117,37).
